Over 30 years of retirement, Coleman would collect as much as $4.66 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Lake County Gazette.
The projection assumes Coleman received $97,977 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Coleman will have already received $302,836 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
